Hello! My name is Beth and I am in an anthropology course with a project on a subculture. I am writing about the subculture of fanfiction and would love to ask questions to some writers/readers who involve themselves in fanfiction. Identities will stay anonymous and information will not be published, simply just presented in my anthropology class and my paper. Participants must be 18 and older.
If anyone would feel free to respond to the following questions, it would be really helpful. You do not have to answer all questions if you do not feel like answering. If you do respond, could you please include your age, gender and what country you're from? Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
1. How old were you when you began to have an interest in fanfiction? If applicable, how old were you when you started to write your own fanfiction stories?
2. What initiated your interest in fanfiction?
3. How much time do you spend reading fanfiction and writing in a given day?
4. How much do you interact in communities? Do you write your own fanfiction and if so, do you publish it on websites? Do you have betas that help edit the stories?
5. Have you made friends through online fanfiction communities? If so, do you speak to them often and how close are you as friends?
6. Are your fandoms big or small and does the size impact your role in the community?
If you have any questions or would like to respond privately, you can email me at elfarrell@ursinus.edu. Thank you so much again!
